Chris Wilson Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Those wheels look they they were designed by a premier league footballers moll on crack. No doubt soon to be seen in loud colurs illegally parked up outside Harrods by blokes in white robes and funny head gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Plethora Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The veyron was a great technical achievement but jeez they all look ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Getting rid of the many many kilowatts of waste heat a genuine 1000BHP engine generates was a real issue, God knows how many heat exchangers they had to cram around the thing, it was something ridiculous!

binfieldx Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I remember watching a video showing the amount of heat they produce can be used to power a small village for an hour...Quite shocking really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Maybe those that consider they have a REAL 1000BHP 2JZ-GTE engine should consider just how a single Supra rad manages it then..... Either its a truly remarkable heat exchanger, or maybe some of those 1000 horses are asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I thought VW were at a loss building these things? Looks like that wasnt the case if there making new models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 I thought VW were at a loss building these things? Looks like that wasnt the case if there making new models VW made a loss on each one because it's a halo product. It's there to show what they can do, not to make a profit. They've got Golfs and Polos and all of the Audis for that. The idea was it was either the Veyron project or an F1 team, and I know for a fact that F1 would have cost the company more.

Digsy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 "This will be the new tech showcase for the VW brand - featuring cylinder deactivation, electric-actuated turbocharging and direct injection" ...ironically all of which have been available on bog-stock VAG products for years. Unless then mean a proper eBooster, which will also be available on the new Q-series well before this comes out. Mind you it will be interesting to see how they package a DI system on that W engine cylinder head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the real power figure is, they probably wont ever do it for long enough to cause a problem, cooling wise. 50% of brake power to coolant is my usual benchmark for rad sizing.
